Interesting Rear Sight

<< < (2/2)

KDubs:
Hmmm it does look like a larger notch fore and smaller aft.
 Maybe acts like an aperture  of a camera and focus the target.

LongWalker's answer seems very logical to me.  As I said in my original post, it was in an advertisement for a rifle on another forum.  There were actually two rifles with this sight posted by that seller, which piqued my interest.

Camera diaphragm isn't a bad analogy, except it helps focus the rear notch.  You cut the front notch to give you a sharp-edged sight.  Actual measurement of the front notch will depend on the shooter and the thickness of the rear sight blade/size of the hole drilled.
